2 Grades Students final grades will be based largely on their mastery of skills, knowledge, and analytical ability as expressed on objective exams, essays, and free response questions (FRQ s). Approximately fifteen percent of the student s final grade will derive from completion of homework and daily assignments in class. The proportional value of grade categories is as follows: Objective Exams 35% Essays and FRQ s 30% Projects 20% Participation and Homework 15% To introduce students to the systematic study of patterns and processes that have shaped human understanding, use and alteration of Earth s surface. To learn about and employ the methods of geographers, especially including observation, mapmaking, data gathering and reporting, and technical writing. To develop a geographic perspective with which to view the landscape and understand current events. To employ spatial concepts, geographic vocabulary, and landscape interpretation to a variety of locations and situations around the globe and in local areas. To compare and contrast ethnic and universalizing religions and their geographic patterns. To evaluate the environmental consequences of agricultural practices. Rubenstein, James M.
